I love the GT series but then I finally played Forza, and I ended up enjoying that one as well. I need to play more of both, actually.

Bro fist.


Thirded.

I may sound like a Sony fan boy right now, but the 360 exclusives sicken me. =/

The only games on the 360 I'd bother playing are Fable 3 (which is also on Steam), and Alan Wake. And I already beat Alan Wake when I hung out with my cursed friend who couldn't get a PS3.

And no. Halo is not a good exclusive. You are not allowed to make that argument. Neither is Gears of War. I have played them. I dislike them.


Fourthed.

Naughty dog games alone are enough reason for me to keep my PS3.

But the games that make me love the PS3 are games like Infmous, Ratchet and Clank, little big planet, and Gran Turismo 5. These are all games that are award winning and are great to play. Not to mention the graphics for PS3-exculsive games are absolutely great. It's a pity that most companies create games for the XBox and then port them to Ps3 without updating the graphics to what the PS3 can handle.

You also need to remember that graphics are not everything and do not make the game.

Graphics don't make a game good.

But it sure can make it better.

Indeed.

A game can have the best graphics ever and still be a terrible game.

Graphics are usually a selling point. That's why so many games had CG cut scenes back in the early PS1 days. Now it's all about actual gameplay visuals, but the same idea still applies. They show off the best features in the trailers to make people want to buy their games.

My inactivity over the weekend works against me, at least in terms of the JCS.

They may not make the game, but odds are if two games are great I'll play the one with the good graphics. Not to say I have anything against games with poor graphics.

Not true.

People argued about graphics in the '90s as well. :specialed:

Cause you all know Saturn had better graphics than N64.

Well, I should clarify; the last time it was relevant was the 2000s.

Today, even portables have decent graphics, so there's nothing much left to argue about.

Graphics will always be part of the equation for video games. Until we have 100% realistic virtual reality. Then all else will be mute.

There is art style, sure, but actual graphics quality is out of the equation. If someone wants to make unquestionably hi-res graphics, they can, even if they have a crummy development system on a bunch of 3 year old computers in a basement somewhere, and are developing for a previous-generation cell phone.

Paulguy's Post configuration
I think the issue we might run in to with ever-increasing graphics detail is the amount of man-hours it'll take to create the higher resolution graphics.

To be honest, if I was one of those gifted people who could do ultra hi-res graphics, I don't think I'd ever stop creating stuff.

I don't know, is 100% realism really the end-all and be-all of graphics? I think there will always be a place for something less "perfect"...
